Color, Cut & Paste Activites

I love using artsy activities in my classroom. I find it keeps the kids engaged with their work. They do chat some but that is fine especially if they are talking about their work and sharing ideas. I don't think classrooms should be silent.

Here are some examples from my Place Value unit. I like to use math workshop. Many students are working independently or in small groups while I work with a group. This allows me to differentiate easily.

An added bonus is that when students are constantly making these types of products. I always have work to display on my bulletin boards! What are your favorite types of cut & paste activities?
